Wesleyan University, School of Nursing Marion, Indiana 19 Preface Middle range theories
have understandably emerged as the focus of knowledge development in nursing with a
broad acceptance of the need to develop middle range theories to support nursing practice.
There is a dynamic relationship between theory, research, and practice. Research is a
source of theory development, and theory is a source of research questions. Theory is used
to improve practice, and practice is used to generate, test, and refine theories. Basically, it is
by testing the theories through research that the evidence for practice is generated. In this
fourth edition, the change of the title to Middle Range Theories Application to Nursing
Research and Practice better reflects this dynamic relationship with increased emphasis on
applications of middle range theories to practice. We continue to hope that this edition can
serve as a resource for nurse scholars and practitioners, making middle range theories
more accessible and useful. The ultimate goal is the advancement of nursing as a profession
and improving the quality of its practice. With the increase in the number of middle range
theories being developed, determining which to include in this edition is always a challenge.
As for the previous editions, we reviewed published research and practice applications of
theories. We also solicited input from practitioners. The goal was to identify those theories,
though in the middle range of abstraction, are not particularly narrow in their possible
applications. That process resulted in the addition of two middle range theories: the theory
of change and the Experiential Theory of Spiritual Care in Practice. Organization Part I 20
Part I is devoted to an overview of the state of nursing’s body of knowledge and the
processes by which it is evaluated. Chapter 1 introduces the interrelationship between
nursing theory, research, and practice. In addition to a brief discussion of epistemology with
a summary of Carper’s conceptualization of nurses’ ways of knowing, the majority of the
chapter addresses the hierarchy of nursing knowledge. The emphasis, of course, is on the
place of middle range theory within that hierarchy (i.e., paradigm, philosophy, conceptual
framework, and theories). For each component of the hierarchy, the chapter includes a
description of its nature, review of its development, a discussion of its contributions to
nursing knowledge, consideration of controversies related to its nature or use, and
examples of nurse scholars’ work. Connection Between Nursing Theory And Practice
PresentationThe section devoted to middle range theories includes an expanded and
updated table with multiple examples of middle range theories referenced. Also included is
an expanded discussion of practice or situation-specific theories with a table that provides
recent examples of this level of theory development. Chapter 2 emphasizes the analysis and
evaluation of middle range theories, including issues to consider in the selection of a middle

6. range nursing theory for research purposes. This chapter also describes a brief evaluative
process for theory analysis. Using this evaluation process, readers can compare and
contrast their conclusions about the theory as presented in the chapter with those of a
nurse scholar who has also used this evaluation process. The theory analysis exercises
related to each chapter are available in the Student Resources located on
(http://thepoint.lww.com/Peterson4e). Parts II to VI Parts II to VI are devoted to specific
middle range theories. The selected theories are labeled by their developers or by nurse
scholars as middle range theories and are ones frequently cited in published nursing
research or practice applications. Many of the chapters contain unique nursing theories;
some are borrowed from related disciplines but are, nonetheless, useful to nursing. All
theories in the text, however, have the intrinsic capability to be applied to nursing research
and practice. They address a wide range of phenomena that allow the researcher to
consider a variety of nursing research questions and uses in practice. The theories have
been organized by categories to reflect a general focus of research questions or 21 practice
applications. The categories are not presented as absolute, but more as a guide to direct the
user of the book to the theories that might be most relevant to their issue of interest.
Physiological—Pain: Balance of Analgesia and Side Effects; Unpleasant Symptoms
Cognitive—Self-efficacy, Reasoned Action Emotional—Empathy, Chronic Sorrow,
Experiential Theory of Spiritual Care in Practice Social—Social Support, Interpersonal
Relations, Attachment Integrative—Modeling and Role-Modeling, Comfort, Heath-Related
Quality of Life, Health Promotion, Deliberative Nursing Process, AACN Synergy Model,
Resilience, Change Special Features Each theory chapter provides the nurse researcher with
a variety of tools. Key features include the following: Definitions of Key Terms appear at the
beginning of each chapter to define concepts and aid the reader’s understanding of the
theory. Using Middle Range Theories in Research boxes provide examples of how the theory
has been used in published research. These have been updated and reformatted, using an
outline based on the research process. Using Middle Range Theories in Practice boxes
provide examples of theories applied to a specific clinical practice situation. They too have
been reformatted so that the clinical issue and the use of the theory as a foundation for
nursing intervention are clearly identified. Examples of Theory in Practice tables are
included in each chapter. The headings on these tables are similar to the matrix used to
critique research as a basis for evidence-based practice. Critical Thinking Exercises at the
end of each chapter engage readers in analysis of the theory and its application to practice.
Instruments are discussed in the chapters, with specific examples …Connection Between
